Here's the short version of the rules;
Take a recent (within the past 6 months) photo of your budgie accomplishing this month's challenge. No fancy schmancy photo editing, just take the picture and send it to me by clicking here:My Budgie of the Month Entry

Include your budgie's name and what you would choose as the next month's challenge.

That's it-easy eh? Remember you can only submit one entry per month.

Deadline:
The contest opens now and will close for entries on February 20th. On that day I will ask people to start sending me their votes for the month. Do not vote before February 20th please.

Prizes
The winner will receive 50 karma points, an exclusive wallpaper featuring the winning photo will be made available for downloading and the winner will be automatically entered in the Budgie of the Year contest, which takes place in December.

Please post any questions or comments on this thread.

Ready for this month's challenge that Rashu has chosen for you?
February's challenge is...............................................

Love is Hard Work!

Cause we all know love don't come easy Especially for our feathered friends.
Pictures may include captions, of budgies trying to get attention from their owners, or from their mates, or trying to impress the owner or the mate.
Does your budgie love another budgie, a toy, perhaps even you!? Snap a photo of your budgie working hard for love and send it to me. Add a caption if you want to. Show me the love!

Bonus Prize!

Because of this month's theme, I am offering a bonus prize! This month's winning photo will be featured on February 14th day of the 2013 edition of the Talk Budgie's calendar. So start snapping those photos!
Good luck to all!

I'm excited! I had no idea what a cool, complex, complete family oriented "We're all in this together" attitude goes on here. Seeing Rashu win the first contest that I'm privy to,
I just joined in January, and receiving my first ever 'friend request' (I didn't know that was such a thing, either) I'm GEEKED. Or maybe I should say I'M BEEKED! Haha

So I'm going to get to work taking pictures and coming up with ideas for contests. I hope to be a valuable member for years to come. Jeanne, (OnlyNatural), Mr. Man and Honey Love.

I'm glad to see such enthusiasm about this challenge...I thought we could all use a challenge, it should be fun to see how our fids work around to get each other, or even us wrapped around their little toes.
